Stoke chief Scholes says they're shooting higher in market

Stoke City chief Tony Scholes says they're now lifting their sights in terms of the transfer market.

The Potters posted a revenue of £98.3m last season, overtaking clubs including Ajax, Valencia and Lazio to enter Deloitte's big money league for the first time.

"It is good to be in the top 30 and there is no doubt this helps us attract the best players," said Scholes.

"We have said all along that if the right opportunities come along and the right deals can be done then we do them.

"We have been linked with one or two players in the last couple of weeks and they have not been unrealistic. Those are the kind of players we want to attract to the club."
